The Evergreen.
Love can not be the aloe-tree, Whose bloom but once is seen; Go search the grove--the tree of love Is sure the evergreen: For that's the same, in leaf or frame, 'Neath cold or sunny skies; You take the ground its roots have bound, Or it, transplanted, dies! That love thus shoots, and firmly roots In woman's heart, we see; Through smiles and tears in after-years It grows a fadeless tree. The tree of love, all trees above, For ever may be seen, In summer's bloom or winter's gloom, A hardy evergreen.
